How To Safely Steer A Vehicle + Three Steering Methods To Use

How To Safely Steer A Vehicle + Three Steering Methods To Use

Knowing how to steer your vehicle properly is a very important part of being a safe driver. For instance, there are several different ways that people hold the steering wheel as they're driving, and some of those ways are good, and some are just downright bad and unsafe. In this video, we'll look at some best practices as we explore three different methods of steering. Each one is useful, has a specific strength, and a best time to use it. Please let me know in the comment section below any thoughts, recommendations, or ideas that you'd like to share on this subject. Thanks for watching, and drive safe!

Excellent explanation. Appreciation to you Mr. Stan

Thanks a lot for your driving tips! I passed my driving test at the end of June but still discovering a new driving skill. Could you make a video of how to merge on the left lane for left turns? Some lanes are tricky, in CA we have short left-turning lanes, what if there are already 2 -3 cars in a row, and I can't fit my car?

Great videos. Love watching and learning from them

I always move my hands to either, depending on direction, ~1 and ~8, or ~11 and ~4 when making a turn (hand over hand). Not sure why, but I think I’ve always automatically done that when I first started driving, as I don’t ever remember doing it consciously. I might be weird for that, but hey, it works.

I can't adjust the mirrors well. I got a bachelor's degree. Please explain more about the things a new driver needs!

Hi. I have a friend who drives with her hands at 7 and 5 except for turns. It drives me crazy but I don't find any comments or instructions about this position. thanks for any input!

Can you please do a video on pulling up next to the curb, and also pulling up next to another car? This seems like it would be something simple, but I struggle doing it correctly. When I’m pulling up next to a curb, I always end up really far away from the curb, even though I think I’m close. Also, when I’m pulling up next to another car (to get ready for parking), I don’t always get the right distance.

The second issue when I’m pulling up next to something is that my car often ends up in a crooked position, instead of being straight. I’ll pull up next to the curb or next to another car, and I often realize that I haven’t properly straightened out my car, but I’m not sure how to correct it once I’m in there.

Can you please do a video addressing these issues related to pulling up? How can we pull up next to the curb or next to another car correctly every time? And if we make a mistake, how can we correct it?

Thank you 🙏🏻

I think that my parents always taught me 10 and 2 when I was learning how to drive

I noticed the driver seat of your vehicle is on the left hand. Its on the right in the part of the world where I live.

You didn't mention steering with the throttle.

Virginia requires 8 & 4. Uncomfortable and unnatural.
